I haven't had any problems like I said with the TH-9800, and as far as I'm concerned it's a "knock-up" from the Yaesu. You get the same warranty if you bought through amazon prime. It's an "unrestricted" radio so you can go outside the amateur band. So overall it has the same features and more for cheaper price, so your just buying a name with Yaesu as far as I'm concerned. I can work 6m on both of my radios so I figure I'd try to pick you up with the FT- 857 and the G5RV, if I get a signal I'll try to match it with the 9800 and see how well they square off.
